Lion (2016)

This Academy Award-nominated film tells the story of a 5-year-old boy named Saroo who is separated from his family across India after getting lost on a train and adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty-five years later, he sets out to find his family and return home. This undeniably uplifting tale gifts us with moving, wonderful performances from Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman, and newcomer Sunny Pawar, and it’s necessary viewing for anyone who loves the power of storytelling.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Perhaps David Fincher‘s most sensitive film, this sweeping, emotional drama is based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald short story of the same name and tells the story of a man (Brad Pitt) who ages in reverse and tries to hold onto the same love (Cate Blanchett) over the course of his life as they meet in the middle and finally drift apart in their age differences. Beautifully acted, visually stunning, and a total tearjerker, you’ll definitely want to have the tissues handy for this one.

Tour De Pharmacy *HBO Original

If you loved 7 Days in Hell, then Tour De Pharmacy is bound to be right up your alley. Andy Samberg is back for another hilarious take on the sports flick, and this time, he’s got even more celebrity cameos behind him as he bikes his way to victory. That’s right. John Cena, Jeff Goldblum, Maya Rudolph, Orlando Bloom, and a TON more are all on board for this ridiculous short. Don’t miss it.
